To start this process, you
MUST have a "Palm program" on your computer,
that is, a program designed to be installed in your Palm.
These programs all have names which end in
".prc", e.g., AssetTracking.prc, MailRoom.prc,
etc. Make sure you have this file and you know where it
is located on your computer; once you have done so
proceed with the instructions below. If you only have a
".ZIP" file, or can't find the ".prc"
file, you cannot proceed with these instructions.

Start your Palm
desktop software and you'll see the window
below. In the upper right hand corner (shown in expanded
view) is a "popup list" of the various Palm
handheld units which have been HotSync'ed to your
computer. Select the correct user,
that is, select the name which corresponds to the
handheld unit on which you want to install the software.
Now click on the Install button on the lower left.

After clicking Install
you'll see the window below. Click on Add.

The window below will
now appear. If the "prc" file you are
installing your Palm is in the "Add-on" folder,
it will appear in the list on screen. Often it will be
elsewhere. Click one or more times on the
small icon showing a folder with an up arrow
(the first icon on the top row) until "Look in"
is displaying the name of the folder in which the
"prc" file resides. You may need to
"navigate" around your disk while doing this.
If you don't know how to do this, please read the
documentation that came with your Windows computer, or
call Microsoft technical support for help. This is a
basic computer operation you should be familiar with.

When you
located the folder in which the file resides,
you'll see something like what is shown below. Here, we
have located the file UnDupe.prc which is located on our
"C:" drive. Click on the file once
to highlight it as shown. Then click on Open.
(This is a misnomer; you aren't really opening this file,
you are simply telling the Palm installer that this is
the file to install).

After selecting the
file in the previous step, this screen will now reappear,
with the name of the file you selected showing in the
large box. If you want to install more programs in your
Palm at this time, click on Add and repeat the process of
the previous two steps, otherwise, click on
Done.

Finally, the window
below will appear. As it says, all that remains is for
you to perform a HotSync operation (putting your Palm in
the cradle and pushing the HotSync button); once the
HotSync is completed, the file or files you selected will
be installed in your Palm. Click on OK.
